    Praying the children receive the counseling they will so desperately need. Too often it’s the adults who are supposed to be protecting the children that cause the most life altering damage by robbing them of their innocence.
    This man is 65 and looks as though he probably worked throughout his life. It’s my opinion that he as well as any person who steals the innocence of a child should have to forfeit any retirement, 401k, IRA, pension or any other income to support themselves to go to the victims.

    I normally disagree with comments portraying inmates as some sort of morale police. However, this time I’m in full agreement. A majority of inmates have children. They have not qualms about venting pent up anger/frustration on predators of children. I have no pity for child milestones. He certainly won’t get any in prison.

    Susie as someone who has done time trust me the rest of his miserable life he is going to suffer. Remember inmates and C.O have kids too and the officers are not going to help at all and if anything they will quietly let out what he in for. Best idea ever

    Put him in open population in prison and let the inmates decide his fate. He deserves no less.

    God bless those precious children and give them strength, Lord. Bless their hearts.
